Inching back to "Normal"

Description

The June 2nd date for re-opening schools in Uganda has come and gone, with a delay imposed of 30 days. Many schools have day students and teachers that commute to the classroom each day. The government is taking this additional time to make sure it can take temperatures and test those who will be leaving the campus and returning each day. Students who are at home working to keep up their studies, will face additional costs to do research online, etc. The Children's Aid Fund is Bwindi Community Program's source of help for these students. You can help immensely, with a donation of any size on the website or by check. Go to: bwindicommunityprogram.org or call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135. Be part of the BCP effort to provide a future through education!

Inching back to Normal-Schools partially reopen in Uganda

Description

Uganda schools are phasing students back into the classrooms. The students who graduate from their respective levels in 2020, Primary 7 and Secondary 4 & 6, are heading to school on June 2nd. It gives them more study time for the looming National Exams. So happy that this conservative approach is being used. For any student experiencing critical shortages, the Children's Aid Fund will be there to help them get back to school. You can help! Any amount will be a blessing as the students reassemble in the classroom and may have an immediate need for assistance. Donate through the website or call Jan Tanis for assistance at 928-204-1135.

Bottles and Formula Needed for Tiny Orphaned Kittens

Description

A kitten's best chance for survival is with mom, not in a shelter. We do not have the resources to care for kittens without a mother, who may need to be bottle-fed and haven't built up their immunity.

But we also don't want to turn away people who find a kitten and want to help. So we're putting together some supplies and instructions to help those people care for the kittens at home until they are big enough to eat on their own, get spayed/neutered and if necessary, come back to us for adoption.

The problem - we're quickly running out of kitten bottles and milk replacement. If you can help, we are in need of KMR or PetLac brand liquid milk replacement (small packs preferred), and bottles designed specifically for kittens (PetAg is one brand - there may be others). They may be hard to find locally, but PetSense or Tractor Supply in Cottonwood or PetSmart in Sedona may have them. You can also shop online at Chewy, Amazon, or even Amazon.

Donations can be dropped of at VVHS during regular business hours or shipped to Verde Valley Humane Society at 1520 W. Mingus, Cottonwood, AZ 86326. Thank you!

Ugandan Education during a Pandemic

Description

The children will not return to Uganda schools until pubic transportation can be allowed to function. Hopefully, this will be soon since the country has done a very good job of locking down and containing the spread of the disease. When the reopening takes place, Bwindi Community Program will scramble to pay the tuition and fees for 75 students. The Children's Aid Fund will be the tool to help those whose sponsors are no longer able to provide their support. Please help us make this Fund sufficient to handle the crisis.

A simple request for peanut butter

Description

Peanut butter. It's a small thing that means a lot to a bored dog waiting to be adopted. "Kong time" when our staff and volunteers distribute Kongs stuffed with peanut butter is the best time of day for our dogs. They get a snack, a chew toy, playtime and quiet time all rolled into one and they so look forward to it. Sadly, We've run out of peanut butter, though, and a Kong just isn't the same without it (we tried!). If you can help, we need smooth peanut butter - any brand, but NOT chunky and NOT sugar free. We are open if you would like to drop some off (keep social distancing in mind and wear a mask if possible), or order online (we'll post a suggested link in the comments) and have it sent to VVHS, 1520 W.

Our virtual fundraiser was a success - thank you!

Description

Thank you to @SedonaWishList from @savewolvesplanb for a wish fulfilled!

We hosted our first ever virtual fundraiser by showing the film @BeingwithAnimals by filmmaker @Salome Pitschen featuring Sedona’s very own animal communicator @maiakincaid and in collaboration with @DeborahRossum. The live Q&A after the film was fun and very educational.

We would highly recommend all nonprofits look at doing a virtual event to help stay top of mind in the community and with their donors while raising funds.

Here are some of the comments we received post event:

“I simply loved this film and will watch it again today because there is so much to absorb and learn.”

“Thank you for hosting this evening during the COVID crisis when it is so important to be reminded that we are literally not alone – we have the companionship of our beloved animals, and we can communicate with them on so many levels. It is easy to forget when we are wrapped up in the external concerns of the COVID disease. But for the first time in many days, I felt a huge sense of relief and comfort in falling asleep with my pups right next to me. Thank you for that gift.”

“Thank you for your fantastic efforts in getting this film out to folks all over and for the work you do with Plan B to Save Wolves.”

“Thanks to all of you for making and presenting this important, striking and enjoyable film!”

Ten Reasons to Volunteer with Verde Valley Caregivers

Description

Discussions with current volunteers have revealed ten reasons why folks should volunteer to help their elderly or disabled neighbors as part of the Verde Valley Caregivers.Reason #1: Make a Difference in Your CommunityVVCC is a network of people helping neighbors. As our population ages, every year there is an increasing need for assistance to elderly who want to stay in their own homes. At some point in time, most can no longer drive themselves. Without a convenient transit system, getting to medical appointments and running basic errands, such as grocery shopping, can be impossible. VVCC fills this gap by providing over 2,200 older adults and adults with disabilities with transportation, shopping assistance, friendly visits, handyperson help and other services to help them stay in their own homes. Volunteer, John Wozniak, shares the importance of this goal to him. “Anything to help people stay in their own homes. It breaks my heart to see people sitting around in care centers.” He says, “neighbors are very gracious and very grateful.” He finds the work “very fulfilling”.

Help ensure the most vulnerable in our society have a safe place to go when they need it.

Description

At Verde Valley Humane Society, we are committed to upholding a high standard of care for every animal at our shelter and to make every effort to give each animal a forever home. That means the average time the animals are cared for at the shelter is longer than before and the costs of care are higher. With veterinary costs continuing to rise, and more animals coming in every day, your donations are more critical than even before.

Your gift today can help ensure the most vulnerable in our society - the ill and injured, the lost, the unwanted, and the orphans - always have a safe place to go when they need it. Donate in person at our Adoption Center, 1520 W. Mingus in Cottonwood, by calling 928-634-7387, or online at https://verdevalleyhumanesociety.org/make-a-donation/ Thank you for your support!

Pet Fosters Needed

Description

Fostering a pet is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. When you foster, you agree to take a homeless dog, cat, puppy or kitten into your home and give him or her love, care and attention, either for a predetermined period of time to recover from injury or illness or to grow old enough for adoption. The length of time a foster pet may stay in your home varies with the animal’s situation.

By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re freeing up a spot so VVHS can take in another dog or cat in need; giving your foster pet the time he needs to be ready for adoption; helping VVHS learn more about the pet so he or she will end up in the best home possible; and socializing the dog or cat to a home environment, other pets and different types of people.

To be a successful foster parent, you will need a compassionate nature, the cooperation of your family or roommates, flexibility, and some knowledge of animal behavior.

For more information about fostering a pet for Verde Valley Humane Society, call 928-634-PETS, email mclark@verdevalleyhumanesociety.org, or visit https://verdevalleyhumanesociety.org/foster/

Funding for a Spay/Neuter and Medical Clinic /Seeking Veterinarian

Description

Giving of ourselves: our time, love and compassion to the animals in need is what is most important to us at Red Rose Inspiration For Animals as we have been providing free services to felines and canines in this community for over 10 years now. However, we are limited to the amount of animals we are able to service?

We have been instrumental in the Verde Valley. Focused heavily in Camp Verde, Rimrock, Cottonwood and Cornville.

We are unique as 501c3 in animal welfare as we don’t have a facility and our focus is not taking in animals and adopting them out. Although we have done it in the past and on occasion we will still do it but our specialty is providing services in animal welfare.

With all the animal organizations in the Verde Valley we try to be particular and service the community in which we live on a different level as it wouldn’t do the animals any good if we all did the same thing. Fortunately, the one common goal we all have is to spay and neuter and make a difference in the over pet population as that is the most important goal for all of us universally. That is what we at Red Rose believe makes the biggest impact within our community.

TNR (Trap Neuter Return for Feral Cats) is a service we have been providing regularly since 2012. We have compassionate, experienced volunteers who set the traps and transport these kittens/cats to the vet and then return and release them back to their environment. Young kittens caught early enough are vaccinated, treated medically, altered and adopted out an experience that is life changing obviously for the better.

At Red Rose we assist homeless animals with emergency medical care. All animals including feral cats involved with Red Rose are treated for any medical conditions before being released. When pet owners on a fixed income find themselves experiencing an emergency situation with their companion animal they are not always prepared to even cover the cost of an exam let alone medication and testing. With our help many pet owners have mentioned “they were able to keep their pet instead of having to give them up due to the cost and treatment.”

Red Rose has assisted hundreds of pet owners (especially seniors) in dire need so that they don’t further delay the animal having to suffer due to financial challenges.

We also assist with free spay and neuter services of felines and canines. Not only assisting pet owners who can’t afford the low cost spay neuter clinics in our community but also homeless animals that are either trapped or found as strays by kind compassionate people that are struggling financially and can’t take on the necessary veterinarian cost. Before moving any animal into the next phase we always encourage individuals to spay and neuter and offer financial assistance when they are in need. Spaying and neutering litters of kittens and puppies and the adult dogs that contributed to their existence whenever possible.

Red Rose has reached an obstacle in animal welfare as we currently NEED more working veterinarian partners or our own veterinarian as we are having to send some animals needing services to Flagstaff and Prescott. We feel if we had our own veterinarian and clinic we could do more.

We need more veterinarians willing to provide rescue pricing as we have pet owners wanting and desperately needing the services for their pets, not to mention the homeless animals.

The unfortunate part is many of the veterinarians in the Verde Valley are not willing to provide discounted services and that is a real obstacle for us because pet owners that are financially challenged needing emergency services have practically nowhere to turn if we don't have veterinarians willing to assist us. Many of the people we often assist don’t have credit cards and many try to apply for Care Credit at the veterinarian’s office only to be denied. Then what? Their animal is not serviced and is left to suffer. This has and continues to happen quite often.

Another problem is many veterinarians will not provide services to feral felines so they will not assist us with our TNR program either. We have had to cut back drastically in the last 24 months on the services because of this situation. You are probably wondering have we reached out to all the additional veterinarians in the area……the answer is yes and multiple times, with no luck. Thankfully the Village Vet Clinic in the Village of Oak Creek and Danza Del Sol has been helping us out but our need is greater than the amount of animals they can possibly see. .

Animals left to continue to reproduce often wind up abused, injured, or neglected as shelters across the country are filled with animals that are euthanized daily due to over pet population as we simply can’t adopt our way out of this problem.

Perhaps we will be fortunate to find a generous, retired, veterinarian willing to volunteer their time to helping our mission or we will be fortunate to open a clinic in the future. We encourage our supporters to help us find a veterinarian either a volunteer or a new professional to the area or one that is contracted.

When you support Red Rose 100% of the proceeds from our fundraising efforts from the Red Rose Thriftique, Red Rose Barkin Basement and our Red Rose Art Shows go to the overall mission of Red Rose Inspiration For Animals. 100% of a monetary donor’s donation goes directly to assisting the animals. No administrative cost or salaries as we are a small, volunteer based organization making a huge difference in the lives of animals throughout the Verde Valley.

On our 990 throughout the years we have a 99.98 percent rating for public support which we are quite proud of, as with us it’s all about servicing the animals. We are asking for anyone passionate about our mission to help us continue the work we do. We are most grateful for all we have accomplished through the years and continue to accomplish. Thank you for sharing and supporting us.

Two Students in Need

Description

Bwindi Community Program is asking for help with sponsorships for students who have lost sponsors recently. Situations change, death interrupts the plans, etc. of sponsors who have taken students many years toward a bright future. There currently is a student in Midwifery school for whom there is no support for her final two years. A secondary student needs funds for her last two years in high school. Unlike sponsors who take on a student for up to ten years, these are short term needs. These students are close to the end of their studies. Help at this point is key to their futures. SW rural Uganda is poverty stricken and these students are almost independent. Help them to complete their studies. Visit BwindiCommunityProgram.org "The Children" page for one student's story or call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 for more information on either student. You can make a terrific difference!

Neighborhood Coordinators

Description

Verde Valley Food Project is looking for more Neighborhood Coordinators. It’s amazingly simple to be a Neighborhood Coordinator. Neighborhood Coordinators organize a small group of neighbors to be Food Donors. Each donor gets a reusable green bag to store food in. Every two months NC's pick up their donors full bags and leave an empty one for next time. On collection day, NC's pick up their donors bags and bring all the bags to a drop-off point at the Safeway/ReMax parking lot in West Sedona, where volunteers receive and sort it the food.Being a Neighborhood Coordinator takes only an hour or two every other a month! You might need to put a little more time in at the beginning, when you’re building your neighborhood. But it’s a surprisingly small time commitment, considering how big a difference you’ll be making.That’s it. As you meet more neighbors and other NCs, your sense of community will grow, and it will add as much to your life as you will be adding to others’ lives. It’s something to look forward to.

Clients shop at no cost in our thrift stores for items they need. However, we do not normally have donations of laptops in good running condition. If you know of someone who is ready to upgrade their technology, our clients would be so grateful to put your outmoded items to valuable use. Thank you in advance for sharing this giving opportunity with your personal and professional networks.

Wishing for Respite Volunteers

Description

Volunteer companions provide company and assistance to neighbors while family caregivers take a much-needed break. The volunteer companions are not expected to provide nursing care or personal hygiene assistance. A current volunteer, Tony Isolda, learned about VVCC respite care when his wife was very ill. She got so much out of the visits that when she passed away, he decided he would like to give the gift of respite to others. In 2016 he volunteered with VVCC as a respite care giver.When he goes to meet with a neighbor, he often brings some kind of treat. He said, “They’re lonely and want to talk.” One person he cares for, Donald, is 95. When Tony visits Donald they play games, read and have an enjoyable time. It gives Tony a good feeling about how his visits lift other’s spirits. From experience Tony says, “Those visits are better than a million bucks to a neighbor.”To volunteer call (928) 204-1238 or email the Verde Valley Caregivers at operations@vvcaregivers.org. Tony is willing to talk to anyone who is interested in volunteering to answer questions about what it is like.

The Entire E-Library will be furnished by the end of August!

Description

Thanks to everyone who has helped create this wonderful study and research space on a rural campus in SW Uganda. The community and the 650 students who board at Bishop Comboni Secondary School are SO appreciative. The first phase; seating for 64 with 10 computers and books on the shelves, will be enlarged to allow 157 to study here soon. When the second phase of the furnishings arrive, we need to pay the manufacturer the balance owed of $1,992. It is a tiny fraction of the investment to date. It is so close to being installed. A donation now will help with the final bill for the furniture. Please contact Jan Tanis to pay by check or go to http//:BwindiCommunityProgram.org and the "Other Donations" page will guide you through payment online. We will also add more computers over time. This is a dream-come-true for this rural school! Thank you!
